Wed, 28 Dec 2011 14:34:49 +0000http://blog.timesunion.com/business/?p=52283#comment-50381We read the EE Times report, and then followed the link to the Nov. 11 story in The National, and could find no mention of the board putting Malta on hold that the EE Times reported. The National story said the company had postponed the Abu Dhabi fab and was focusing its attention on the Malta fab.

“Meanwhile the foundry is constructing a wafer fab in Malta, Saratoga County, New York. That plan has been put on hold with a re-assessment to come some time in 2012, the report said.”

The word “false” might have instilled more confidence.

Fri, 16 Dec 2011 17:15:48 +0000http://blog.timesunion.com/business/?p=52283#comment-49189Where do these CRAZY rumors come from? All they have to do is watch the line of cars coming in every morning to know there hasn’t been a work stopage. All they have to do is talk to one of the 1000 contractors on site or 1000 employees on site, and they’ll tell you how busy they are and how they are being held for short and long term committments and tasks and very busy doing so.

Really, where do these rumors come from??????

IOW no announcements made…yet..?

“We are confident we will be able to continue …”
Not, “We will be continuing…”
